53 years! They really did it. Now the offseason drama begins 👀

[NBA @NBA]

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆

New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!

Trade is legal on all three legs. 🏀

Miami sends out $62.1M across five players to get Giannis at $58.5M. They drop below the luxury tax and get hard capped at the Second Apron ($222M) but they sit $32M below it so no real concern.

Memphis swaps Morant for Herro and Jovic. They take on $7M more salary and get hard capped at the First Apron ($209M) but they're $61M below it. Plenty of room.

Milwaukee gets Morant, Ware, Jaquez Jr. and Larsson. No hard cap triggers, drops under the cap entirely and gets $36M of room before hitting the tax line.

Does Miami actually become a title contender with Giannis?

Trade is legal on all three legs but there's a CBA problem with the framing. 🏀

The Bobby Portis TPE cannot be transferred to Boston. TPEs belong to the team that generated them and cannot be sent to another team. That part of the deal is a violation.

On the salary side, Boston gets Giannis and sheds $1.5M. Portland gets Brown and drops $1.9M. Milwaukee takes on $3.4M more.

Does Portland actually win this trade long term?

Trade is legal on both legs. 🏀

Miami sends out Herro, Jovic, and Ware ($53.8M combined) and takes back Kawhi at $50.3M. They drop below the luxury tax line and get $11M of breathing room. The catch is they get hard capped at the Second Apron for the rest of the season.
Clippers take on $3.6M in extra salary and get hard capped at the First Apron ($209M) with only $5.3M of cushion left. Tight.

Does Miami actually get better with Kawhi at this stage of his career?

[Apron @ApronNBA]

@esidery If Boston goes all in for Giannis, Derrick White is probably the first guy to go. He has real value around the league and his contract is moveable. Makes sense teams are already lining up.

[Apron @ApronNBA]

Trade works on paper but the real question is does OKC actually get better without Jalen Williams?

More teams updated over on my timeline.

The Bleacher Report mock trade sending Jalen Williams to Detroit is legal on all three legs. 🏀

Here's the full breakdown 👇

[Apron @ApronNBA]

Memphis stays clean. They send out Wells + KCP ($23.9M) and take back Thompson + Holland ($20.2M). Drop in salary, no hard cap triggers, no violations.

[Apron @ApronNBA]

Trade is legal on all three legs. 🏀

OKC sheds $2.6M off their Second Apron bill. Memphis stays well under cap. Detroit gets Jalen Williams but gets hard capped at the First Apron ($209M) for the rest of the season. They land at $169.5M post-trade so about $39.5M of room left, not really a problem.

Does OKC actually get better without Jalen Williams?

[Apron @ApronNBA]

Trade is legal on both legs. 🏀

New Orleans dumps Murphy's $27M, drops below the luxury tax line and unlocks the Non-Taxpayer MLE. Detroit takes on Murphy but gets hard capped at the First Apron ($209M) for the rest of the season.
They land at $166M post-trade so plenty of room, but they lose MLE access going forward.

Does Detroit actually get better with Trey Murphy?

[Apron @ApronNBA]

@TheDunkCentral @IraHeatBeat @HeatCulture13 If Giannis actually agrees to stay long term, trading Jaylen Brown makes sense. If he doesn't, Boston just gave up one of their best players for nothing.

[Apron @ApronNBA]

Ran the numbers. This trade is legal but Minnesota gets hard capped at $209M with only $4.4M of breathing room left. Every move they make after this has to fit under that ceiling.

The Timberwolves are emerging as a potential destination for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Bucks would reportedly seek Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Terrence Shannon Jr., and Minnesota’s two tradable first-round picks in return, per @sam_amick & @eric_nehm

“The Timberwolves, meanwhile, are also seen by some as an emerging option for the Bucks. While Antetokounmpo is known to prefer a trade involving a team in the Eastern Conference, league sources say the Bucks are interested in what Minnesota has to offer. If the Timberwolves want to get into the mix, league sources say the Bucks would want a package including Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Terrence Shannon Jr. and their two tradable first-round picks (No. 29 in this year’s draft and their 2033 pick).”
